A Swap, A Swap, A Swap

I love nothing better than a good old fashion swap! Today, I photographer Teagan (she is my baby super model) in some lovely creations by Colleen of Tricity Hokes Creations.

Colleen gets awesome photos to showcase her amazing designs. Codi gets great photos of Teagan. I get to keep Colleen's master works to use for other sessions. Win, win, win!

Thanks Colleen, Codi and Baby Teagan!

Fix-It-Friday

I love Fix-It-Fridays over at


I love that I get to show you all what post production looks like. Seems clients are not too fond of showing the "before" version of their pictures.

It's also fun to work on photos that are not taken by me and then see how everyone else would change them in post.

Here is the "Before"
CUTIE


Here is my "After"


Post Production list
*removed wrinkles
* removed bags from under eye
* evened and brighten skin tone
* removed skin imperfections
* widened eyes and boosted color
* subtly whitened teeth
* small crop adjustment
* sharpen and contrast

Thanks for the fun! See you next week!

Rylan's Riches

Shelby and Baby Rylan
Erie Orchards
Erie, MI





A couple of weeks I ago, I did a newborn session with Teagan. Her mommy had the CUTEST little hair bands, hats and flowers, I knew right then and there that I needed those. I got in contact with the creator of these lovelies, Shelby from Rylan's Riches Baby Boutique and promptly cleaned out her inventory. Not only did I get the cutest little hair accessories, she also makes tutus and wings. I am now the proud owner of a set of angel wings, probably the only ones I'll ever get! LOL I can't wait to use all my new stuff in a 6 month old baby session with my friend's granddaughter on Sunday!

If you just HAVE to have some cuteness too,
stop by Shelby's website!

Thanks for the great afternoon Shelby and Rylan, is it legal to be that cute?

Fix-It-Friday

I heart Fix-It Fridays over at I {heart} Faces! It 's gives me a chance to work on photos that I didn't take. Then let's me see how everyone else went about the same task. And if that wasn't enough, I get feedback from other I {heart} Faces fans. I learn so much from the process.

Here's is the provided original

CUTE!

Here is my "fix"

Honestly, I didn't do too much "fixing" I really liked the original so I just made some minor changes. Stop by and see what everyone else is up to...

Fix-It-Friday

It's Friday so the gals over at I {Heart} Faces are hosting Fix-It-Friday. They provide an original picture and then we get to gussy it up. Here is the original. What a cutie...

Here is my "fixed" version. I ran several actions in 2 different programs. Removed all the auntie treats off his face, tilted it, enhanced the color balance, cropped, contoured the face, brightened eyes, evened the skin tones, patched skin imperfection, widened his eyes a bit and viola! My take on an already great pic! Thanks and that was fun!

Drop by I Heart Faces and check out everyone's fixes!
